Here’s a snippet of the absurdist drama that is life with kids:
6:00 a.m.
Eli: So what else is there?
Julie [mostly asleep]: What?
Eli: What else?
Julie: What else of what?
Eli: There’s excavators, and dumptrucks, and loaders. What else?
Julie [face still smashed into pillow, burrowing deeper into covers]: Cement mixers.
Eli: What else?
Julie: Forklifts.
Eli: Where?
Julie: What?
Eli: Where is the forklift?
Julie: What are we talking about?
Eli: Show it to me.
Julie: What?
Eli: Get up. Read me a book.
Julie [sighing]: Oh, alright.
This was absolutely hilarious.
Maybe now you need to share the bit about Macy. Can you do that w/o offending anyone? Possibly it would lose its humor amid necessary explanations…
I keep thinking the bit about Macy involves too much backstory to make it as instantly entertaining as it could be.
